Tanya wants to gift-wrap a container that is in the shape of a right circular cylinder. The radius and height of the container are given below in centimeters. The radius is 2.1 cm and the height is 8.8 cm
The question is missing.
Oops, the question is; which estimate is closest to the minimum amount of gift wrap Tanya needs to cover the entire container?
You need to find the surface area of the cylinder. The lateral surface area is: 2 * pi * r * H The surface area of top and bottom circles are: pi * r^2 + pi * r^2 Plug in the numbers and compute the total surface area.
The estimates r; 120 squared.....132 squared.....432 squared.... 216 squared
Total surface area = 2 * pi * r * H + pi * r^2 + pi * r^2 = 2 * pi * r * H + 2 * pi * r^2 = 2(pi)(r) * (H + r) Plug in the numbers and see what you get.
The number that is greater than what the above calculation yields and closest to the calculation will be your answer.
